Today I got a tune on my car and WOW is all I can say it is just crazy.

I started driving the car with a GMS1 tune and I thought it was so fast when I first got it. Now, don't get me wrong GMS1 is still fast and very fun to drive but now I have a 25psi tune on my car and I don't think I'll ever go back to GMS1, it is just wild. I hit full boost pretty fast, rev limiter raised to 7000rpm(not that I ever hit 7000). My tuner said its making around 370lbs tq wheel and 305hp wheel and it's crazy how fast this thing is. Brand new 245/40/18continental extreme contact DW summer performance tires and it spins in 2nd. The car picks up speed like crazy. Idk I wanted to post about it here, although none of you will really be to interested in this thread I just think it's awesome.

Proud of my car and proud to be "panda tuned".

He said once I get a charge pipe and intercooler that he doesn't charge for a retune, also he said I should try the different spring rates on my forge bypass valve because I was going from 25-22psi at the end of the gear. Put the yellow spring in and it seems to be more consistent with boost now. Couldn't say for a fact ultimately since I didn't change the spring at the time of the tune but I definitely like it better and it doesn't hold too much boost like people in the past told me it would. It drives a lot smoother and it's gets AMAZING gas milage compared to GMS1 and city driving seems to pick up a lot quicker than before without even getting into the throttle. Overall I think I got a really good tune and he told me he was conservative, which I like! Not to mention his cobalt is a monster lol. 160k miles but the engine is so pretty and overall real clean car for how high the milage is and how low his car is! Hes a great guy and if people can get ahold of him for tuning I suggest him!

I was self tuned on 25% Ethanol with 23psi.

I had to go back to GMS1 last night. Holy crap it sucks so bad. I was not sure If I would notice the difference but it's a lot.

I can't image going back to stock. Would be mind numbing.
